We Make It Easier

When someone dies your world can be completely turned upside down. The emotions of losing a loved one can make your head spin and difficult to focus. Most people only experience a death every 7 to 10 years, so chances are you don't have much experience. You are not sure what to do. You don't know what your options are. That's normal. You're OK. Really.

What we do, here at Lawson-Roessner is to make it easier for you. Not that we make it easy. It is never easy to handle all the affairs surrounding a death. But, we will guide you through the steps. Keep you on task. Proceed at a pace that is right for you.

We provide special offerings according to your desires. We will take care of all the details ensuring that your event turns out just as you hoped.

It won't be easy. But in the end, we'll help make it easier. We promise.

A meaningful experience will foster healing for each generation of the family. This experience provides all the basic services plus a gathering time and Special Offerings, as listed below.

TheNaturalFarewell is designed to provide the family the opportunity of seeing their loved one without the use of caskets allowing the family a chance to say goodbye to their loved one.
